Before driving long distances in Australia, drive on the left, plan fuel and rest stops, stay alert for wildlife at dusk and dawn, take regular breaks, and carry extra water and offline maps.

Before driving long distances in Australia, plan rest stops every two hours to avoid fatigue. Prepare for vast uninhabited stretches by carrying extra water, fuel, and supplies. Be vigilant for wildlife near roads, especially at dawn and dusk, and download offline maps as remote cellular reception is frequently limited.
